Chapter 258

Even before he showed up, Miranda had a hunch about who it was.

The moment he stood in front of her, she instinctively turned to flee. What if this guy decided to give Alistair another thrashing in broad daylight? That would be mortifying.

This was the office entrance, bustling with people. Getting caught in such a scene would be terrible for her image. She had to maintain her reputation in the entertainment industry, after all.

However, her attempt to escape was futile against his quick reflexes. Just as she turned, a firm grip halted her.

Elian looked puzzled. "Why are you running?"

Miranda replied, "I'm worried there'd be a mortifier."

Elian, known for his lack of regard for social norms, was unpredictable. He paused. "With me around, you won't get mortified."

She must feel shamed because of Alistair, he assumed. Miranda coughed lightly, clearly unconvinced by his confidence.

Holding Miranda securely, Elian turned his attention to Alistair, who seemed a bit out of sorts.

"He looks familiar. Haven't I kicked him before?"

"Probably," Miranda replied.

Elian frowned. "Those Hawke folks are no good. You shouldn't waste your breath on them."
